Coupe Mount Kenya

Peel, pit and mash the mangos. You should end up with about 2 cups. Whip the heavy cream with the sugar until stiff.
In a 2-quart bowl combine the 2 cups of mashed mangos, the lemon peel ribbons, condensed milk and salt. Fold in the whipped cream.
Pour into freezer trays or a 6-cup mold and freeze.

Pineapple Rum Sauce

In a 1-quart sauce pan simmer the pineapple juice and the sugar, until it dissolves and forms into a syrup.
Add the white rum and cool.

Place the cut fresh pineapple pieces in a 2-quart bowl and pour the pineapple rum sauce over them. Marinate for several hours.

Place 1 scoop Mango Ice Cream in a 6 oz wine glass. Top with 3 to 4 oz of Pineapple Rum Mixture.
Garnish with pistachio nuts, coarsely chopped.
The rest is history! ;)

Note: Any fruit ice cream will serve for the Coupe Mount Kenya, especially peach ice cream. Fruit sherbet may also be used. Canned pineapple may be substituted for the fresh, but it is just not quiet the same.

Chilled Banana Cream

Heat the milk almost to the boiling point, but do not actually let it boil. Break the eggs into the hot milk, add the sugar and vanilla essence, and blend or whisk to a creamy mixture. Simmer slowly on very low heat, stirring continuously until it thickens into a smooth custard. Remove from the heat and put aside.

Brandy Snaps

Combine the butter, sugar, corn syrup and ground ginger in a pan and stir over heat until well mixed. Cool for 10 minutes.
Add the flour and blend into mixture. Pour mixture by spoonfuls into flat greased pan, 3 to 4 inches apart.
Bake at 350F until snaps flatten. Remove carefully with spatula and , when slightly cooled, roll up into a tube.
Combine the brandy with the whipped cream. Stuff tubes with brandy mixture using a pastry bag.

Note: Brandy Snaps where originally introduced by the British and they are indeed sensational cookies. Careful, you might get hooked on those!!

Maandazi

Sift flour and baking powder together. Add sugar and salt.
Beat eggs well and add water. Stir egg mixture into flour and mix until soft dough is formed. Add more water if necessary.
Knead dough in the bowl until smooth, but not sticky. Dough should leave the sides of the bowl cleanly. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes.
Roll out dough on a floured board until ½ inch thick. Cut into squares, strips or triangles. Your choice!
Fry in deep fat until golden brown. Drain on paper towels or any other absorbent paper.
